Instructions
  1. Combine all sauce ingredients. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before serving.
  2. To make kibbeh: Heat a saucepan over medium-high heat, then add 1½ tablespoons olive oil. Add onion; cook, stirring frequently, until onion begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Add cracked wheat, pepper, cinnamon, and allspice. Stir for a minute or so, until fragrant. Pour in broth. Bring to a simmer, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for 15 minutes, until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat.
  3. To make filling: Preheat oven to 375°. Pour hot water over currants to plump; drain. Spread walnuts on a baking sheet. Bake until lightly toasted, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven (but leave oven on). Heat a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and sliced onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to brown. Add apples and salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until apples are barely tender. Remove from heat and stir in currants, walnuts, parsley, and feta.
  4. Stir pumpkin into wheat mixture. It will come together like a dough. Brush a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil. Press half of wheat mixture into pan. Top with filling, then scatter remaining wheat mixture on top. Press down with a wet spatula until smooth. Brush top with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Bake for 35 minutes. Cool 20 minutes or more, then cut into squares. Serve, topped with sauce.
